Bienvenidos!
Welcome to the Latin American and Latino/a Studies Department (LALS) at City College of San Francisco.
The LALS department offers courses in two distinct fields: the study of Latin America and the Latino/experience in the United States. The LALS curriculum includes courses in Arts, Humanities, as well as Behavioral and Social Sciences. Since LALS classes are multi-disciplinary, you will find them cross-listed in other departments. The aim of LALS is to help students gain a broad grasp of the culture, history, and current issues that defines the Latino/a perspective.
Programs
The LALS Department offers both a degree and certificate option. In each, you will take courses in the Humanities, Ethnic Studies, Area Studies and Social Sciences to help you gain a foundation on the history, culture, and politics of Latin America and Latinos in the Americas.
Departmental Scholarship
LALS is one of the departments offering Departmental Scholarships in CCSF. The Scholarship Office is a great source for scholarship-related information and provides guidance to students with the application process. See links below for details.
